The Curse of the Image: A Handbook for the Tribulation

By Betty F. Qualls

If used by those left behind after the Rapture of the Church, "The Curse of The Image" Handbook, will take the reader step by step through the events described in the Bible. It will reveal the plan that Satan has, to use the Image people have come to know as Christ, and how Satans plan will be implemented before the second coming of Christ. Scriptures are provided in order that one can check for validity.

Not a subject widely discussed, the practice of the veneration of carved statues and pictures unwinds like a scarlet thread down through the ages of church history. Some Christians arent aware the practice is Idolatry. The writer gives examples with Scripture backup, to aquaint the reader with the wide-spread practice and how important it will be to know as much as we can about the Mark of The Beast. If you have children or other loved ones who are not saved, get them a copy of this book. It may be the only hope they will have if they are left behind.

There are years of prayer concerning this book. The writer knows this may be controversial. Her oldest son said of the writing, "Mom if you publish this book, the church world will crucify you." That may figuratively come to pass. However, the writer feels its necessary to bring this revelation to the attention of the public. Saint or Sinner this is the book for you, along with your Bible. The writer strongly encourages all who read the book to have a Bible at their side because, the Holy Bible is the last authority by which all are to be judged. The writer prays that the reader will read and research the subject, for there is much more to be brought to the attention of the masses concerning the Rapture of the church and the second coming of the Lord. In all this she has been diligent to pray and study for some twenty years on this subject. If one soul is snached from the greedy hands of Satan, the writer feels she will have been successful in this endeavor.

CHAPTER ONE

The Plan of Satan

The last days scenario is in the forefront of many minds as the events in the Holy Land and all over the world play out on the electronic stage of our television. It seems that the name of Jesus is on the lips of everyone. The news, documentary programs, and the movies are imagining the cataclysmic events of the time before the Rapture of the church. This book is not meant to scare anyone, on the contrary, it is meant to be a comfort to those who are left behind. It is to be a handbook whereby you might find the answers to the questions that will be on the mind of all after the shocking disappearance of millions from the earth. We came past the dawning of a new century almost without incident. However, the dawning of the Rapture of the church will not be something the masses will just slide through. Whoever is ready to be taken by the Lord in the Rapture will be taken. Those who are not ready will be left to relearn the Scriptures they neglected when they had a chance. As the Bible says: This will be such that has never been seen since the dawning of time.(paraphrase) For the unsaved time will indeed stand still, for they will have no time to repent. The next player on the world stage will be the Antichrist. Without knowledge of the events that are quickly to be carried out, you may be deceived and unable to escape the deadly Mark of the Beast.

It’s the purpose of this writing to provide a handbook for that time. Anyone who takes the mark will be able to continue life, because he’ll be permitted to buy and sell. Those who refuse, will almost certainly die. However, it’s possible that some will take the mark unknowingly, or even knowingly in an attempt to save those most dear to them. There is a very real danger of a person not being able to recognize the Beast or know his agenda for the Tribulation.

If you find yourself on earth when a great man of peace has made his appearance in the political, spiritual and secular world you may have already witnessed the disappearance of millions. That event is known as the Rapture of the Church. At the Rapture, Christians and innocents dead and alive will have been taken to be with the Lord forever.

Can anyone still be saved? That question will be on the minds hearts and lips of all living humans. Yes, you can be saved during The Tribulation, but only if you refuse to take the Mark of the Beast. However, most won’t recognize it or know how one can escape. Throughout the years people have imagined many things were the mark. Some thought it was the Social Security Number now required of everyone in the United States. It may be indeed connected to the Social Security number but the numbering Of the Beast will be world wide.

With the invention of the microchip, which can and is now being implanted in the hands of test subjects, came the ability for a world ruler to cause everyone to have a microchip with his personal number, implanted in his hand. This will enable the government to monitor every person’s financial transactions. No person will be able to buy or sell anything without passing the implanted number over a scanner or other device. President Bill Clinton said in his State of the Union Speech, 1999, that scientist had informed him of a molecular computer that now exist and is the size of a teardrop and as fast and powerful as the supercomputers we have today. This writer thought it so appropriate that the molecular computer was the size of a teardrop. Many, many teardrops will be shed when these computers are put to use. On the scanner codes we now use, the number 666 already appears. It is used for the space between the code numbers. The number 666 is the number of the Beast.

The cash-less society is here. In 1998. A news clip reads as follows: "After years of planning, research, and development the world’s financial institutions are announcing the much anticipated GLOBAL CASHLESS SOCIETY. The ability to conduct all manner of monetary exchange is now being replaced by microchip technology and electronic currency. MONDEX is the company providing this cashless system and has already franchised over 20 major nations. This system was created in 1993 by London bankers, Tim Jones and Graham Higgins of NATWEST/COUTTS. The SMARTCARD technology which employs microchips concealed in a plastic card that stores electronic cash, identification, and other information. All transaction systems are being made secure by adopting SET protocols (secure electronic transaction) and will display the Set Mark. MON-DEX is a compound of the words MONETARY AND DEXTER. Webster’s Dictionary Encyclopedia Edition, defines these words as: Monetary—pertaining to money. Dexter—belonging to or located on the right hand. SET—The Egyptian god of evil, or Satan.

Along with the cards you may use a PET device; (personal electronic transfer). This wallet sized calculator-like device allows you to conduct personal currency exchanges with other card holders. The cards also work with the NORTEL/BELL VISTA 360 phone, MILLENNIUM pay phones, ATMs, your PC, the INTERNET, and online businesses and institutions. This cashless system has been tested extensively in the city of Guelph, in Ontario, Canada, and in the U.K. and U.S. All Canadian banks have signed up to MONDEX and will be promoting it soon. Eventually the idea of carrying a card will become obsolete as people soon discover that it has its security limitations, namely, being stolen or damaged or lost. There is a pet identification system called INFOPET. It’s a system whereby a microchip is implanted under the skin of an animal with a syringe gun. It implants a bio-chip that can be read by a scanner. The stated purpose is to help pet owners keep track of their dogs as well as the health records of same.

MOTOROLA, who produces the microchips for the MONDEX SMARTCARD, has developed several human implantable bio-chips. The BT952000 chip was engineered by Dr. Carl Sanders who was directed in seventeen NEW WORLD ORDER MEETINGS to develop the device for global use in economic and identification purposes."

The bio-chip measures 7mm long and .75mm in width, about the size of a grain of rice and contains a transponder and a rechargeable lithium battery. The battery is charged by a thermocouple circuit that produces voltage from changes in ones body temperature."

Consider these Scriptures:

And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark in their right hand, or in their forehead, and he provides that no one should be able to buy or sell, except he have the mark, either the name of the Beast, or the number of his name.

Revelation 16:10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores and repented not of their deeds.

The doctor who developed the chip didn’t want to use a lithium battery in the device because it will, if broken, cause an agonizing boil to develop. The chip implanted will be under the control of The Beast who is to be at the head of the One World Government. This great man will have been chosen to be the World Leader because many will think he is Jesus because he will appear to have the answers to dilemma that have been plaguing we humans since the beginning of time. He will masquerade as Jesus and will have been able to achieve world peace. He will be able to do great miracles even to call fire down out of Heaven and will fool most of the people who are remaining on earth. But he will rule with a rod of iron and will be supported in his government by most of the inhabitants of the earth.

The number will be required of everyone before he is permitted to engage in any type of transfer of electronic currency. Everyday needs such as, electricity, city water, groceries, phone or cable TV, won’t be available to you without using the number. If you don’t have the number you’ll soon die. Only transactions accompanying the number will be allowed. Not many people will be strong enough to resist allowing the number to be implanted. Let this be a warning. If you do allow the number to be implanted you will die spiritually. There will be no hope for your soul. It would be a decision from which there is no return. I pray that this information will be a help to you so you won’t take the Mark of the Beast. As you might know, back in 1998 the option was given to have checks direct deposited and use
